We'll cut straight to the chase: No, Mindy, you are definitely not too old for this outfit. 

The multi-hyphenate talent, mother of two, and unabashed fashion lover posted these stunning outfit photos on her Instagram account with the caption, "I'm too old for this outfit slash I am hoping you tell me I'm not?!?!," and the comments are flooded with kudos from friends, fans, and fashion industry folks alike. 

Fellow screenwriter Kelly Oxford astutely pointed out, "'Am I too old..?' needs to be removed from [the] lexicon… I love this on you," which we wholeheartedly agree with. 

Kaling is just one of many stars spotted sporting the daring but delightful new denim trend: cutouts. While her head-to-toe Area ensemble is obviously outfit goals, we'd be remiss not to point out that cutouts are, well, coming to an area near you.
